new year, new person

the changes 2024 has made to my life

Ever since 2020, the years have been speeding by with little change.

2021 didn’t even happen. 2022 was nice. 2023 was literally just 2022.

But in 2024, things changed—for me, at least.

I feel like a different person; I am a different person than I was in 2023. Despite how quickly this year flew past, so much happened. So many new people, new habits, new accomplishments, new goals, new experiences. And while those come with every year, 2024 offered something more. It didn’t just present me with things to keep me going to the next year; it gave me stuff for the long term, stuff that will stay in my life for years to come.

Not to seem melodramatic, but 2024 truly made me a new person. It said, “We can’t stay in this post-Covid cycle forever. Here are some major changes that will take you a step up in your journey, a step up from who you used to be.” And all of these changes seem to be for the better.

New year, new me, new everything.
